Here we are for the 4th year in a row at the Gentry's Farm! This day for me is one of the highlights of the year. I absolutely love being outside in God's creation on a fall day with my family and our dearest friends- one day when my kids are too old to go to the Pumpkin Patch I am truly going to cry. I love it, love it, love it! However, in the midst of this day (and Halloween as well) I have been truly sad over the loss of my dear friend Misty. Last year at this time she took her kids to the Gentry's Farm- and I saw her for the last time at the Harpeth Hills Trunk-or-Treat event last year. She held up Annelise in her pumpkin outfit. It's hard to believe that she's not with us this year. I visited her grave site just recently- the ground is still slightly upturned. It is so hard to see her name etched there. I was reminded as the wind blew that the Word says that we are all like the flowers of the field...they bloom and have their radiance for just a short while and then are gone...I miss her so much and pray for her family daily.
Annelise worked so hard to pick up these pumpkins!!
Yea!! What a big girl!!!
Here are some of the kidos waiting for the farmer to start that tractor engine! The hayride is so fun!! To see more pics click here!
Also, in October we went to the opening of the new PinkBerry frozen yogurt! Austin's dad and brother, Chase, recently brought this business to Nashville. It was an exciting event- and we loved the yogurt!! Caleb's favorite was Mango!!

What a sweet post about Misty. It was truly heartfelt. I have been so sad the last month and think about her so much so I just can't imagine how you and her close friends and family must feel. It was such a shock last year that I just couldn't fully comprehend it for a long time. I am the 2's and 3's aide at HHP and seeing Griffin and Miles is a daily reminder of her and that big smile. I know there are no tears in heaven and she is so happy there, but I can't help but be sad at what she is missing here on earth and it just causes me physical pain in my heart to see the sadness in her parent's eyes. Sometimes I look back at your pictures from last year and read the verse you wrote about and it makes me feel better. Thanks for sharing. Misty touched so many lives and she never would have even known how much she touched mine. Your babies are gorgeous!
